While the presiding officer is to appear impartial during a motion at a meeting, the Chair does not lose his rights as a member. It's not inappropriate for a member to make a request to the Bylaws Committee. --- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee On 2020-05-03 11:11, Nicholas Sarwark via Lnc-business wrote:
I made the following request of the Chair of the Bylaws Committee on a social media post announcing today's Zoom meeting:
“I'm not sure if I will be able to attend, but what I would like from the committee is a recommendation for how we could hold an online convention hewing as closely as possible to our current bylaws and convention rules over Memorial Day weekend.
Specific things like what form a motion ratifying the proceedings should take, suggestions for how to facilitate deliberation over that motion and a motion to amend the agenda to only consist of elections for LNC, President, Vice President, and Judicial Committee. Also, how to make a motion at the end to adjourn to a physical convention should there be a certain time, date, and place to consider at the end of the session.
I would like this recommendation to be communicated to the Convention Oversight Committee, the entire LNC, and staff.”
I stand by it.
Yours in liberty, Nick

I also hear of interference with the work of the bylaws committee. This is way beyond the bounds of propriety.

I would ask respectfully that the chair resume the impartiality required of a presiding officer. Including on social media. The lobbying to change votes seems highly improper.
